Beautiful rooms, great staff and all the essentials. A slight nitpick is that the kettles were made of plastic which can be unhealthy. Besides that great stay! 10/10

The Tall Trees motel in Ainslee is a hidden little gem close to Dickson (and the tram) It's a old, safe and quiet suburb with lots of greenery (plants, trees, green grass, well maintained properties). The staff are amazing, the facilities are great and they're renovating to make it even better. It's a quiet place for a perfect stay, short or long. I was there with my wife and we are definitely coming back again due to all the factors mentioned above.
